1st picture is b/4 we left for a fun party (she loved the bows on the back of her tights) At the party she would say to people "wanna see my bows" and turn around for them to look - LOL

This was at the party (notice our little hottie girl has shed some clothes) She is always so hot so off came the long sleeve shirt and the tights.  In this picture she is singing Christmas Carols with all her cousins.  It was AWESOME!  This little one danced and sang the night away.  FUN!

Holiday Crafts Galore

So many great crafts this holiday season!!  Great events we went to and some great fun at home.  Laney either tells me letter by letter how to spell her name to write it on the back or she writes the first and last letter and I do the middle ones.  We always write the year so we can remember her 2011 crafts!!  FUN TIMES!

Grinch Storytime

Dumpling

So we had heard a lot about this and even checked into it awhile back.  Than we found we ran into a few SOLD OUT issues.  Even though we gave in late we finally did adopt this new family tradition and I must say she has been soooooooooooo excited about it.  Laney named him Dumpling (of course when she says his name it sounds like "Dunkling"  SO CUTE.  If you have not heard about this here is a glimpse:

Joyous Season

This started out with Momma saying "let me take a picture of you in this adorable hand me down outfit"  Laney said "hands not on my hips today Momma" in her silly being funny little voice.  Than she put her hands under her arms and realized she was tickling herself.  The laughter she brings to ours lives is just pure joy.  As we drove by this beautiful place she asked to stop and play a game of "run and chase" so that is just what we did.  The requests are so small and she is such a joy.  Did I mention this is a joyous season ;).

One of Laney's famous lines before bed......."Check me out in the middle of the night Momma"  So I do (often several times).  I have to crack up since many times I go in and find her like this:

Sound asleep covers over her head (NUT)
